Maurizio Sarri warned he risks losing ‘special’ Chelsea player

Jamie Redknapp has warned Maurizio Sarri that he risks losing ‘special Chelsea forward Callum Hudson-Odoi. The 18-year-old, who is rated as one of the best youngsters in English football, scored his first Chelsea goal in last week’s 4-0 win over PAOK in the Europa League. After the teenager failed to make Chelsea’s matchday squad against Fulham, Redknapp reacted very angrily saying that it was a shame. "It was a shame not to see Callum Hudson-Odoi at least on the bench for Chelsea. This kid is the next superstar," he told the Daily Mail. He is full of confidence, loves to run at defenders and capped a brilliant display against PAOK with his first senior goal. He also took the time last week to meet Chelsea’s Under 10s. "Maurizio Sarri simply has to find a way to give him more minutes. Jadon Sancho has set a precedent. ‘Young players are willing to move abroad to play and Chelsea risk losing someone special." Sarri hinted he would drop Hudson-Odoi after he scored his first senior goal against Greek outfit PAOK. He said: "I think that he played very well but the type of match [suited] his characteristics. They had ten men after seven minutes. ‘He is able to play well in this and I want to see him when we have to play more in the defensive phase. "The goal will give him confidence, like [Olivier] Giroud and [Alvaro] Morata. I am very happy with this. Two strikers scored and that is very important."
